Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is criticalthat those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy.

REFUGEE ADMISSIONS UNDER TRUMP: MORE CHRISTIANS, FEWER MUSLIMS

Refugee Admissions Under Trump: More Christians, Fewer Muslims

(CNSNews.com) – The first six months-plus of the Trump administration have brought a discernible shift in the religious affiliation breakdown of refugees admitted into the United States, with a larger proportion of Christians to Muslims among those resettled.

Most of those who have arrived since President Trump’s inauguration would have begun the application process long before – it can take 18-24 months – but the change is nonetheless striking: More than half of those admitted under Trump (51.2 percent) are Christians, compared to 43.3 percent of those who arrived during the same period one year earlier under President Obama.

At the same time, the proportion of Muslims among the refugees admitted during those two time periods dropped, from 46.7 percent under Obama to 37.6 percent under Trump.

The trend is evident over the successive months of the Trump administration: In February, Trump’s first full month in office, the Christian-Muslim ratio was 41 percent to 50 percent. By April the balance had changed, with 54 percent Christians to 35 percent Muslims. In July, the margin of difference was even larger – 62 percent Christians compared to 34 percent Muslims.

Over the decade prior to FY 2016, the U.S. each year resettled more Christian than Muslim refugees from around the world, but that changed last year when Obama admitted a slightly larger number of Muslims. Of the 84,994 refugees admitted in FY 2016, 37,875 (44.5 percent) were Christians and 38,900 (45.7 percent) were Muslims.

This year, a total of 20,357 refugees have been admitted between January 21 – Trump’s first full day in office – and the end of July. Of those, 10,426 (51.2 percent) identified themselves as Christians, 7,662 (37.6 percent) as Muslims, 774 (3.8 percent) as Buddhists and 562 (2.7 percent) as Hindus.

Another 933 (4.6 percent) of admitted refugees were from smaller faith groups (including Yezidi, Baha’i, Jewish and Zoroastrian) as well as those who indicated religious affiliation as “none.”

By comparison, the Obama administration admitted more than twice as many refugees over the identical period one year earlier (Jan. 21, 2016—Jul. 31, 2016) – a total of 42,880 according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data.

Sectarian breakdown of Muslims according to the data included “Moslem,” Sunni, Shi’ite, Ahmadi (133, all from Pakistan, whose constitution does not recognize Ahmadis as Muslims and whose penal code criminalizes Ahmadi worship), and “Ismaici” (4, from Afghanistan – apparently refers to Ismailis, a branch of Shi’a Islam.)

Large Muslim groups included 1,963 Somalis who identified themselves simply as Muslim, 1,725 Sunnis from Syria, 792 Sunnis and 513 Shi’ites from Iraq, and 702 Muslims from Burma.

Of the 20,357 refugee arrivals during the Trump administration, 18,808 (92.4 percent) originated from just 12 countries.

The largest contingents came from the Democratic Republic of Congo (3,485), Burma (2,554), Somalia (2,093) and Iraq (2,017), while other sizeable groups came from Ukraine (1,860), Syria (1,843), Bhutan (1,394) and Eritrea (1,168).

With two months of the fiscal year to go, as of July 31 the Trump administration has admitted 50,479 refugees since Oct. 1, 2016.

The ceiling has been exceeded because the Supreme Court, in allowing the travel ban to take partial effect, ruled that the administration will not be able to exclude a refugee applicant purely on the basis of the executive order’s ceiling having been reached, if that applicant has a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”

July brought the lowest number of monthly admissions in several years – 1,224, compared to 2,852 in June, 3,989 in May and 3,316 in April

The largest contingents among the July arrivals were Ukraine (257), DRC (250), Somalia (214), Burma (84), Syria (64), Sudan (61) and Iraq (59).
